Title: Great gesture Post by: DEADLOCK on June 19, 2015, 08:05:21 PM As you no last year I managed to find a saxon sceat only to find it had been pieced, so it whet from coin to pendant and a treasure case, The British museum had said that hereford were interested in acquiring it, so I was going to lose one way or another, so I wrote to the curator of Kington museum told him of the story and he wanted it. So another email to my flo and he had arranged for it to go to Kington museum farmer was happy for it to go to Kington aswell.
We waived our fee and I got this certificate Al Title: Re: Great gesture Post by: dingdong on June 19, 2015, 08:21:15 PM Great gesture,that's another feather in the cap for Detecting Wales forum,forever gathering great accalaids and going from strength to strength👍👏well done.
